Denmark adds double track between Aalborg and Hjørring

The "Kapacitetsudvidelse Aalborg-Hjørring" project, part of Denmark's Togfonden rail-fund programme, added two new double-track sections to the mostly single-track Aalborg–Hjørring line: north of Lindholm (where the Aalborg Airport branch splits off, in service since 21 September 2020) and a 700-metre stretch south of Hjørring station, where tracks, sleepers and switches were also renewed. Construction at Hjørring ran from June to November 2024 (station closed 26 July–6 October 2024); the economic framework for the overall project was DKK 114.5 million (2017 price level). The aim is greater robustness and punctuality of rail traffic in North Jutland.
